>> seeing myself on that campus, the 12, 13, 14-year-old and to read those words and to think that they thought i was negligent, i was responsible, it was heart-breaking for me. >> she's taking action against the district to make sure sexual abuse is taken seriously. a student at a san jose elementary school is suing the principal, a teacher and the school district for negligence and sexual abuse. the lawsuit claims the girl was abused by her teacher two years ago and the principal failed to act on those accusations. this lawsuit coming as the criminal trial against that principal is expected to wrap up sometime today. she's facing charges for failing to report the abuse allegations against craig chandler. she admits in court yesterday she knew about the parents' concerns with chandler but they did not report him because he assured her he was not doing anything inappropriate. cann chandler was later arrested and

charged with committing lewd acts on five children. prosecutors have charged a school administrator for not calling authorities in a situation like this. the chp is patrolling the streets of oakland this morning following an order from governor brown. chp officers are working with opd to help increase patrols in high crime areas and help stop violent crime. so far this year oakland has had 108 homicides. >> a definite decrease in calls for emergency services, in violent crimes occurring and an increase in community relations. >> the chp worked with oakland police between 2007 and 2010. the program ended because of a lack of funding. the partnership will last for at least three months. the help comes just hours after the death of a popular oakland business owner. police say 50-year-old wilbur bartly was shot and killed as he was closing his cell phone store

danielle leigh has the latest on the cleanup. >> reporter: electric repair vehicles and volunteers from out of state are working to get the lights back on in the northeast. for the millions without power, those lights have already been out too long. >> there's people that have nothing. they have just the clothes on their backs. you know, it's -- >> reporter: frustrating, i bet, to have to wait? >> very frustrating. >> reporter: desperation is now replacing sadness. >> but you need to come here and help us. we need assistance, please. >> reporter: crews are trying to salvage mere shells of once thriving communities, but residents locked out of their homes for safety reasons are losing their patience. >> it's the gas mains we're scared of. we're trying to shut the gas mains off. >> i don't care about a house. i conveyare about your life. >> reporter: on the roads, hours long traffic jams and gas lines

authorities say many bogus charities are asking for donations through e-mail, text messages and twitter. they may also call. the best way to protect yourself is to check out the charity before you donate. if you don't know what it is, look it up online. sites like ftc.gov and give.gov help you spot the legitimate charities. 4:39. let's check in with meteorologist christina loren to check out your friday morning. >> hey, good morning to you. always want to remind everybody that we live in earthquake country and it's always a good idea to make sure you have as much gas as possible in your tank and you want to collect those canned goods and water every time you go to the store because you never know when it could happen. it's a great reminder. temperatures are nice and comfortable. we're at 52 in san francisco so not too cold there. what i will point out right off the bat, temperatures running 5 to 8 degrees cooler in your north bay cities this morning so

the freeway moves smoothly as far as the live shot goes. on the south on my map we're looking at an accident northbound 880 toward marina boulevard. there's no real slowing but there's report of a slowing at basically the on-ramp itself. it sounds like it's off or maybe in the slow lane. farther north construction both sides of the freeway north and south between 16th or as you approach 16th. but no major slowing. there is a little slowing approaching the bay bridge but a light flow there. a live look outside and there we are looking at the incline and also the decline, folks coming with the headlights heading out of the city and there is the city. beautiful view. clear skies across the bay. >> looks pretty good. thanks, mike. tonight cal will host its first-ever friday night football game at the new memorial stadium and the city of berkeley telling people to take public transit. several streets around the cal campus will be closed starting

4:45 now. takinge ing ing a live look at . we'll have an update on the lockout coming up. the bay bridge looks good. we're expecting the winds to pick up throughout the day today. there's a storm system sitting to our north. as we get throughout the day your temperatures will jump from the 40s and 50s into the 70s. we've got a good-looking day, just about as cool as it was yesterday right at the coast. you'll get a little warmer in your inland cities with a lack of fog. the system will keep things nice and mild for us and then we start to really warm up as we get into next week. we could be talking about the potential for temperature records right here in the bay area. today looking good. 73 in livermore, 73 in fairfield and 70 out in concord. the weekend looks good. saturday, sunday, beautiful for outdoor activities. tuesday, election day, super tuesday. 86 degrees. the weather will be super as

ralt rate is expected to be 7.9%. you will not see the full impact of hurricane sandy until next month's jobs report and stocks did rally yesterday, so the hope is that the economy is slowly but surely getting better. the dow jumped about 136 points yesterday to 13,232. the nasdaq was up by 42 points and in fact november is historically the best month for the markets during a presidential election year for the dow jones. as for apple's innovation, it is the ipad mini and it hits stores in two dozen countries today. apple sold out preorders for the device last weekend, but already stores in parts of asia have seen some lines. but this time around those lines are smaller. in fact several apple stores in new york city are going to be closed today for obvious reasons and the power outages from hurricane sandy could stop them from opening for another couple of days. we'll have to wait and see. microsoft is reportedly working

with its asian suppliers to test its own smartphone design but it is unclear if the device will go into mass production. elsewhere, reports say that the phone's screen is between 4 and 5 inches. the iphone 5 has a 4 inch screen while the samsung galaxy s-iii measures four inches. payroll is front and center. back to you. >> thank you very much. we'll check back with you a little later on. turning now to decision 2012 and, yes, as we're saying only four days left before the presidential election. president obama and governor romney out on the road again today making a mad dash across the electoral maps seeking those big, important swing state votes. we get the latest from nbc's tracie potts. >> reporter: both candidates land in ohio today. so far here's what their travel schedules look like. governor romney visits seven

states, including a rally in ohio tonight, with 100 supporters, politicians and celebrities. in virginia last night, he argued the president is running out of steam. >> he was just the other day talking about saving characters on sesame street and playing word games with my name and attacking me on a regular basis and attacks that he knows aren't true. >> reporter: president obama also visits seven states between now and election day with a focus on ohio. his must-win state. he'll be there every day between now and the election, making his closing argument, highlighting higher home prices and victories overseas. >> al qaeda has been decimated, osama bin laden is dead. so we've made real progress these past four years. >> reporter: the president picked up an endorsement from new york mayor michael bloomberg. earlier this week bloomberg said new york was too busy cleaning up for the storm for a

presidential visit. but in bloomberg news he writes, applauding the president's record on climate change. so how will it all shake out on tuesday? >> i think romney has a 50-50 chance to win the popular vote. i just think it's harder to see him winning the electoral vote. >> reporter: a possible split verdict from a nation already deeply divided. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. >> don't forget to vote. 4:51. coming up, giants pitcher sergio romo, barry zito stopping by "the tonight show" to talk about the team's amazing world series run. >> confetti, nice. >> ticker tape everywhere they go. a live look out here. fremont shows a nice, smooth flow. this is the best view we've had of this portion the last few days.

with fans and signing a few autographs and probably helping them sell a lot of clothes. the first 250 fans to buy giants merchandise will get an autograph. that's part of the bargain. two of pagan's teammates also making the media rounds. >> sergio romo, barry zito! >> yeah, pretty cool. two of the giants star pitchers greeted by an enthusiastic audience on "the tonight show" along with did you see it there a bearded jamie lee curtis. >> i was like who got the beard? >> everybody does now. they talked about facing six elimination games on their way to the world series. >> i mean unbelievable ride, just to be a part of it. i mean our team, what we did is unreal. we were one game away from going home and not one of my teammates was ready to go home. so what a ride. >> yeah, very cool, very exciting. leno also asked romo about the

romo bomb. check them out. he posed for a little of them. >> he's such a character. >> he really is a lot of fun. look at that, a live romo bomb. >> jamie lee curtis looks like the bearded woman. she had a skirt on. it took my attention there. strange. it's 4:56. let's check in with mike inouye to see what's happening on the roads. >> we're looking over here though, we just have the south bay. we'll take it. we'll look at san jose overall. this is the overview, a smooth drive. the yellow on the sensors down to about 60. there is a construction zone there at brokaw and 880 itself but no real problems as far as the flow of traffic itself. looking farther north, the foster city side of the san mateo bridge moves very slow. new reports of 880 at 92 on the

hayward side. i'll check on that and let you know if there are any delays. the southbound drive great visibility, back to you. coming up, the cleanup continues in the northeast, but not everyone is being welcomed with open arms. why some utility crews from alabama told their help -- they were told their help was not needed. also two men walk right into a 7-eleven and they walk out with a bag full of cash. we'll have all the details coming up.

new this morning oakland police getting some help patrolling the streets as major crime is on the rise. i'll tell you who's helping and how long it might last, coming up. plus with election day just four days away, one bay area county dealing with accusations of ballot tampering. a live
